Trahan Statement on Historic Day One Executive Actions Announced by President-Elect Biden
Washington,
January 20, 2021
WASHINGTON, DC – Today, Congresswoman Lori Trahan (MA-03) applauded President-elect Joe Biden’s plan to sign a historic slate of Executive Orders hours after the inauguration that will address the most pressing issues facing working families across the nation. “A record number of Americans voted for President-elect Biden because they knew that he is uniquely prepared to tackle the crises that we face as a nation. The executive actions he plans to take today, hours after being sworn in, show that he and Vice President-elect Harris are the leaders we need to get the pandemic and economic crisis under control, undo the damage of the last four years, and move our nation forward.” “These orders will target the root causes of issues directly affecting American families, including COVID-19, financial instability, racial injustice, and climate change, while also beginning the long process of restoring people’s faith in their government. I’m grateful that these bold actions, the first of the Biden Presidency, will meet the gravity of the moment we’re in as a nation. Now, Congress must do our job and build on this progress.” ### |
